Pros
Fantastic combination of size, speed and athleticism.
Has played at an elite level going against top SEC competition, despite usually being surrounded by less talent than opposing teams.
Excellent frame for the position at 6-foot-3, 230-pounds. Big and strong.
Very durable. Hasn’t missed a game yet in two-plus seasons.
Gets good separation off the line of scrimmage. Very physical with corners trying to jam him.
Smooth route runner with good burst out of breaks.
Good leaping ability. High-points the ball and uses frame well to box out defenders.
Good body control. Dances a tight-rope along the sideline. Excellent on-field awareness.
Shows good concentration when ball is in the air. Tracks the ball very well.
Makes the catch in traffic and isn’t afraid to go across the middle. Doesn’t have alligator arms.
Overall seems to be a good kid. Doesn’t get into trouble and is very well liked amongst teammates, coaches and the community. A favorite of the student section.
Cons
Is fast, but isn’t a true burner. Might have difficulty taking the top off a defense at the next level.
Doesn’t always stretch the field vertically.
Not an elite blocker yet. The skills to be a top-notch blocker at wide receiver are there though.
Needs to use hands better and more consistently.
Despite strong statistics, has disappeared at times with lackluster QB play.
Sometimes struggles breaking free of double-coverage....
The bottom line is he’s got the skill set to play outside receiver at a very high level in the NFL, and that’s a hard thing to come by. He might not be the first receiver selected in the 2014 NFL Draft, as Sammy Watkins (Clemson), Marqise Lee (USC) and Mike Evans (Texas A&M) are also very highly viewed amongst personnel men, but I think Moncrief could be the best of the bunch long-term.
Draft Projection: Late 1st round.
